Next follows the Gulf of Latmus, on which is situated
‘Heracleia under Latmus,’1 as it is called, a small town
with a shelter for vessels. It formerly had the same name as
the mountain above, which Hecatæus thinks was the same
as that called by the poet2 the mountain of the Phtheiri,
for he says that the mountain of the Phtheiri was situated
below Latmus; but some say that it was Grium, as being
parallel to Latmus, and extending from the Milesian territory towards the east, through Caria, as far as Euromus and
Chalcetores. However, the mountain rises up in sight of3 the city.

At a little distance further, after crossing a small river near
Latmus, there is seen in a cave the sepulchre of Endymion.
Then from Heracleia to Pyrrha, a small city, is about 100
stadia by sea, but a little more from Miletus to Heracleia, if
we include the winding of the bays.
